Properties of Matrices Inverse:

If A and B are the non-singular matrices, then the inverse matrix should have the following properties

  • (AB) - 1 = B - 1 A - 1
  • (A - 1) - 1 = A
  • (AT) - 1 = (A - 1)T
  • (KA - 1) = \(\rm \frac{1}{k}\;{A^{ - 1}}\) for any K ≠ 0
  • (An) - 1 = (A - 1)n
  • AA - 1 = A - 1A = I

Calculation:

Given: A2 - 2A - I = 0

⇒ A.A - 2A = I

Post multiply by A-1, we get

⇒ AAA-1 - 2AA-1 = IA-1

⇒ AI - 2I = A-1             [∵ AA - 1 = A - 1A = I]

∴ A-1 = A - 2

the inverse of A is A - 2
